Yandex SEO: Will a domain with 'porn' get penalized in CIS search results? - GoFuckYourself.com

Hi! So I have a website of my client, pornagency.eu, will 'porn' in the domain name affect its SEO promotion in CIS Yandex search engine ?

Is the Russian Yandex a Google Clone? Not exactly, but many in the SEO community consider Yandex to be the closest Google alternative with the most similar search results of international search engines. It was also revealed in Yandex’s source code that they regularly scrape Google SEO results to apply to their own ranking algorithms.

Negative Ranking Factors

Adult content (eg, Porn, Nasty Content, Vulgarities)
Broken embed videos
Excessive display ads
High bounce rate and low time on page
Large areas use Flash Player

Positive Ranking Factors

Links from Wikipedia
Keywords in Anchor Text
Local Ranking Factors: Ratio of Clicks from Local Users
Number of Times Bookmarked
Commercial Intent – has products or offers for sale
Russian Language
Use of Ngram keywords (related, relevant terms used in content)
Use of synonyms
Has a blog, especially if a “livejournal.com” blog
Renders well on IoS, Android, Tablet, Mobile, and Desktop
